FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for hiking in hot weather?
Yes, the fabric is lightweight and breathable, offering UPF 50+ sun protection, making them suitable for hiking in warm conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend checking the Craghoppers size chart and measuring your waist and hips. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit.
Can I wear these shorts for casual everyday use?
Absolutely. Their comfortable design, stretch fabric, and practical pockets make them suitable for a wide range of activities, from travel to everyday errands.
How effective is the water-repellent finish?
The H2OShield finish is effective against light rain and splashes, causing water to bead off. It is not intended to be fully waterproof for prolonged immersion.
Will the NosiDefence fabric prevent all insect bites?
NosiDefence is designed to repel biting insects, significantly reducing the likelihood of bites. However, effectiveness can vary based on insect type and environmental conditions.
How should I care for the sunglasses wipe?
The sunglasses wipe is typically integrated into the hem or a pocket. Simply keep it clean with the garment during washing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on it.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting or by ironing on a low setting. For a more thorough re-waterproofing, consider using a specific fabric re-proofer after washing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth. You can also use a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to help the zipper run smoothly.
Insect repellent properties seem less effective.
The NosiDefence treatment is designed to last for many washes. Ensure the garment is clean and dry, as dirt or residues can sometimes affect fabric properties. If effectiveness is significantly reduced after prolonged use, consider a specialized fabric treatment.
